Okura Minori Akitakomachi Rice, 5 Kg

Dine on wonderfully flavourful, plump and sticky akitakomachi grown in a fresh, new rice growing region. This rice, based on the classic Japanese akitakomachi, is nurtured by the nutrient-rich water source of the Ebre river flowing down from the Pyrenees mountains in northern Spain. The resultant grain has a fuller flavour, moisture and stickiness to be expected of only the best akitakomachi. For those who use japonica rice everyday or want to start, this large bag is ready to meet all your sushi, onigiri and donburi needs.

ITEM ID: #13573

Background

As the interest in Japanese cuisine has grown worldwide, so too has the demand for Japanese, or Japonica, rices. These rices are small to medium in grain size and become particularly sticky when cooked, making them ideal for eating out of side bowls with chopsticks, or for pressing into moulded sushi and onigiri rice ball shapes. Take a look at Japan Centre's Rice section for a fantastic variety of Japonica rice, grown in Japan and around the world.
